In honour of Mod 1 getting (at last) the pair of boots she was physically drooling over since last year at least, we compiled a list of the characters as Doc Martens.
Because we, as a fandom, are completely sane and love giving random stuff to fictional people.
1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?
Oh God, so many. Javert/Valjean seems most obvious–they have their own lives to lead, they’re not obsessing over the physicality of one another.
Éponine and Enjolras, too. Hugo himself basically says Enjolras is either gay or ace, and I just can’t help but feel like Enjolras and everything he does is opposite of what she wants for her life.
9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?
Hmmm…this is tricky because Hugo intentionally writes almost every character in a moral gray area (except Myriel). Thenardiers seem an obvious choice, or Tholomyes, given that they’re pretty far on the charcoal side of gray, but even they’re instrumental in illustrating Hugo’s point about society.
I’m gonna call it a toss-up between The People of Paris for staying in their beds and Vicky Large himself for living the way he did.
20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?
Bossuet/Joly/Musichetta: totally unproblematic, balance each other out perfectly, good communication. They are perfection.
This is a man who has lived by a strong moral code his whole life, and who for the first time realizes that the world he sees as black and white, is in fact a million different shades of grey.
This is a man who had nothing and nobody his whole life EXCEPT that code, and when it is stripped away, is left with nothing.
And when he dies, he STILL has nothing because essentially, nothing changes. Nobody grieves, nobody cares.
Should you be interested in a villian:
THESE are two people who happily scam people out of money, rob off the dead and are just generally horrible people.
They were also the two who had five children, sold two of them, and couldn’t give a toss that two of them are dead.
